I Don't Like Mondays

The silicon chip inside her head
 Gets switched to overload
 And nobody's gonna go to school today
 She's gonna make them stay at home
 And daddy doesn't understand it
 He always said she was good as gold
 And he can see no reasons
 'Cause there are no reasons
 What reason do you need to be shown?
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 I wanna shoot the whole day down
 The Telex machine is kept so clean
 And it types to a waiting world
 Her mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked
 And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
 Sweet sixteen, ain't that peachy keen
 Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat
 They can see no reasons
 'Cause there are no reasons
 What reasons do you need, oh oh oh oh?
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 I wanna shoot the whole day down
 Down, down, shoot it all down
 And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
 She wants to play with the toys a while
 And school's out early and soon we be learning
 And the lesson today is how to die
 And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles
 With the problems and the hows and whys
 And he can see no reasons
 'Cause there are no reasons
 What reason do you need to die, die, oh oh oh?
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like
 I don't like
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like
 I don't like
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 (Tell me why)
 I don't like Mondays
 I wanna shoot the whole day down
